McCaig-Welles & Zimmer present Joanne Leah at SCOPE NY

McCaig-Welles & Zimmer are pleased to present a solo booth exhibition by artist Joanne Leah. Joanne Leah is a Brooklyn-based artist who creates photo-based images that portray a series of contorted nude body parts, juxtaposed with ordinary yet highly stylized props. Using color as her narrative, she takes the viewer on an eerie trip through staged, fairytale crime scenes. She draws from her own personal experiences with the unreal, by acts of rebellion and psychedelic voyeurism, repeated frequently as a teenager. Exploring themes of isolation, detachment and self-identity, she challenges the viewer to react to the human form and tactile quality of fluids, fleshiness and voluptuousness.
